Meghan Markle’s Legal Team Fights To Convince Judge To Toss Out Samantha's Defamation Lawsuit!
perezhilton.comMeghan Markle isn’t going to let her half-sister Samantha Markle win that easily! The Suits alum’s team was in court on Wednesday trying to convince a judge to toss Samantha’s defamation lawsuit out — and it might have worked!
As we’ve been following, Samantha is seeking $75,000 in damages from the actress and her husband Prince Harry for alleged lies spilled in their Oprah Winfrey tell-all and the 2020 biography Finding Freedom, which was written by Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie.
In particular, she’s arguing her sis made false claims in a public setting that subjected her to “humiliation, shame and hatred on a worldwide scale.” As recently as last week, the 58-year-old managed to snag a pretty big win in the case when Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell handed down a ruling ordering Meghan and Harry to sit for depositions “within the next few months,” according to a DailyMail.com report.
But Meghan’s team requested the judge rule on their dismissal motion before the Sussexes sit for any testimony. Now, they’re one step closer to getting the case thrown out!
